A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

The voice library “Hatsune Miku” was released in 2007, and since then the Vocaloid scene has steadily expanded.

Because of that, the age range of Vocaloid fans is quite broad.

There are all kinds of cases: “I got into it in elementary school,” “I still enjoy it as a working adult,” or even “my parents’ generation listens to it.”

In this article, we’re picking out Vocaloid tracks recommended for people in their 20s.

From nostalgic classics to the hottest current hits, we’ve selected a wide range.

If you haven’t listened to Vocaloid songs recently, let this be your cue to dive back in!
